Napa-to-Sonoma Wine Country Half Marathon

A few years ago, I took the dive away from the corporate world and into the unknown. I knew I wanted to have my life revolve around athletics and motivating others to do the same but wasn't sure how to go about that. I had a plane voucher that had to be used, having been bumped from a flight back in the 52 Marathon excursion. I had always wanted to go to Zihuatanejo, Mexico, simply because I was hoping to see both Andy and Red there.

If you didn't get that reference, well...google.

Unfortunately, the voucher expired before I could make the return trip to home from Zihuatanejo. So I had to choose another exotic locale. Mazatlan it was! I was hoping the complete removal of myself from what I had known for the past four years and taking a trip to somewhere I had never been before would clear my head and help me get a fresh start.

As I crawl my way back to a different type of being in shape, after building up my body to handle the rigors of the AOR 202, one of the things I wanted to do was take part in more half-marathons. I have always loved the distance but have done just a handful of them. So it is with great pleasure that I am able to work with Destination Races and help promote this great series.
